Acquisition of Texas Oil Projects - North Chapman Ranch (21.75% WI) and East Texas Cotton Valley (18.2% WI)
During the quarter, the Company completed the acquisition of the North Chapman Ranch ("NCR") and East Texas Cotton Valley ("ETCV") project interests from Range Resources Limited, through the acquisition of Range Australia Resources (US) Limited ("RARL"), which hold the interests in the two Texas Oil Projects.
The consideration for the acquisition of both assets includes A$500,000 in cash, 200m ordinary fully paid shares in Citation, forgiveness of a A$189,000 working capital loan owed to Citation by Range and the assumption of Range's remaining finance carried obligations on the Atzam and Tortugas Oil Projects in Guatemala. The finance carry obligation shared by Citation and Range to date is repaid as a priority from project cashflows pursuant to the existing funding agreement.
The North Chapman Ranch Project (Citation acquired 18.2% WI 1) is located in Nueces County, Texas, comprising approximately 1,680 acres and has had 6 wells drilled since 2008 that have discovered and / or appraised NCR (5 wells post Range's initial investment).
The next appraisal well, Russel-Bevly #2 (RB #2), has a scheduled spud date of late May 2015, with the
Company's share of dry hole costs already pre-paid in full.
Following the commercial discovery of the Smith #1 well in December 2009, a multi well program was initiated that saw 4 appraisal / development wells drilled across the license area, with the latest well, the Albrecht #2 well, being drilled during the 2013/14 year, to determine the south-eastern extension of the
1 The working interest with respect to NCR has a back in right from outside parties of up to 2.25%.
Howell Hight ("HH") sandstone reservoirs. Whilst the well encountered the HH at the predicted depth, it did not flow at a commercial rate after completion.
Following the Albrecht #2 well, the Operator (Western Gulf) completed a detailed technical review on the location of future well locations which has led to the recommendation that the future development focus be moved back up to the more proven area in the North that surrounds the successful Smith #1 and Russel Bevly #1 wells.
As a result the Operator has proposed the Russel-Bevly #2 well which is targeting 40 acres of proven reservoir, being optimal infill well spacing following volumetric analysis on the current wells. The RB #2 well will be the first infill well on this 40 acre spacing between the successful Smith #1 and Russel Bevly #1 wells and is forecast to spud in May 2015. The total dry hole cost of the well is estimated at US$3.4m (CTR share being US$615k) with an additional US$1.3m for completion costs (CTR share of US$0.24m) to tie into production to be paid upon confirmation of a commercially successful well.
This well is the first well the Company will participate in and is the first well in the revised NCR development focus, targeting the more proven area in the North, and if results mirror that of the Smith #1 and Russel Bevly #1 wells (which have previous had combined production of 9.3 MMcf and 800 bbl of oil per day following successful well stimulation2), could support a multi-well development program.
The East Texas Cotton Valley Project (Citation acquired 21.75% WI) is located in Red River County, Texas, comprising approximately 1,570 gross acres and has one marginally successful horizontal well, the Ross
3H. This well encountered water influx however still produced, with additional work being performed to determine the scope of water encroachment from the nearby field.
The Atzam 4 production has continued during the March quarter, however the Atzam 5 appraisal well testing program remained suspended, with the program initially delayed to enable the Operator to complete further technical reviews and establish the optimal part of the C18 section to retest. The testing program was not restarted by the Operator during the quarter, and a majority of the prospective sections remain untested which include all the prospective zones from the C13 to C17 carbonates sections inclusive. The C17 carbonate is the producing section in the Atzam #4 well.
2 As reported in the Range Resources Limited 2011 Annual Report
As previously reported the Company is in advanced negotiations with all the project partners to complete a comprehensive farm out arrangement to ensure the Project is fully funded for all short and medium term obligations. The process is significantly advanced with the goal to ensure Citation retains a material interest in the Project
During the quarter Mr Michael Curnow stepped down as a Non-Executive Director of the Company, whilst Mr Anthony Eastman was appointed to the Board as a Non-Executive Director to replace Mr Curnow. Additionally, the Company also advanced its search during the quarter for a high calibre oil and gas executive to manage the Company's existing projects and future opportunities.
